As soon as Liu Huaiwen heard about the opportunity to make money, his ears immediately became stunned.

This can’t be done without making money. How empty is the Ming Dynasty’s treasury? Even the mice are starving to death!

When he thought of the miserable situation where rats could starve to death in the treasury, Liu Huaiwen couldn't wait to ask: "What method? How much can we earn?"

Zhu Jinsong thought about it secretly and said: "It should be no problem to get one million taels. If the situation is ideal, it is not impossible to get tens of millions or even tens of millions."

hiss!

After hearing the figure of tens of millions of taels, even Zeng Cheng and other big guys couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Tens of millions taels?

If it’s tens of millions of taels, that’s equivalent to the Ming Dynasty’s treasury’s income for a year! If it’s tens of millions of taels, isn’t it equivalent to the Ming’s treasury’s income for more than ten years?

Liu Huaiwen asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you want to provoke a fight between countries and sell a batch of muskets and artillery?"

Zeng Cheng also nodded and echoed: "The idea proposed by Macartney is unlikely to be implemented in the short term, at least not that easy."

"But, let's let the wind go first. We can first define the approximate time limit and ask all countries to demarcate their own territories to avoid conflicts over territorial issues in the future."

"For example, France, would they be willing to only have a little bit of territory in France? Or take England, would they be willing to only have a little bit of territory?"

"They want to expand, and other countries also want to expand. The demand for guns and artillery will inevitably increase greatly. It is normal to make millions and tens of millions of taels."

Looking at Zeng Cheng's mouth opening and closing, Zhu Jinsong, who had been in a mess just now, felt that his heart was getting messy again.

However, before Zhu Jinsong could recover, Zeng Cheng continued: "However, there is a problem that needs to be taken into consideration, that is, our Ming Dynasty itself still has a lot of territory that has not been recovered, so it is best to set this deadline farther away.

, at least ten or eight years."

After Zeng Cheng finished speaking, the leaders of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion suddenly became unhappy.

Zhu Sanshun, who was in charge of the Rear Army Governor's Mansion, was the first to speak: "As long as Brother Huang nods, I will immediately send troops to the north to get back the money-deaf dog's head!"

Liu Erniu, who is in charge of the Zuojun Dudufu, also expressed his position: "Yes, as long as His Majesty agrees, our navy of the Zuojun Dudufu will cooperate with the rear army Dudufu to regain Liaodong in the shortest possible time!"

Geng Rui, who was in charge of the Right Army Governor's Office, saw that Zhu Sanshun and Liu Erniu had expressed their stance, so he followed suit: "Our Right Army Governor's Office can recover the Western Region within one year. As long as the logistics can keep up, within two years,

We can rebuild the Anxi Protectorate, and within five years, we can restore the entire Mongolian and Yuan homeland."

Seeing the statements of these military leaders, Liu Huaiwen's face immediately darkened: "Can the logistics keep up? You guys really just stand and talk without bothering your back! Come on, come on, Gou Shengzi, you tell me

Me, what do you want the logistics to bring with you?"

When Liu Huaiwen called out the name Gou Shengzi in front of everyone, Geng Rui's face immediately turned as red as a pig's liver: "Well, that's what I'm saying, Uncle Huaiwen, please be a little less angry, ah, be a little less angry.

anger."

Liu Huaiwen snorted coldly and said while banging the dry pot: "You bunch of idiots, think about how your Majesty fought when you first raised the army? Why, now that the conditions are just a little bit better, you just rely on logistics? Leave it.

Logistics won’t help you fight?”

"Anyway, just one sentence, the treasury has no money, even if it has money, it can't cause such trouble to you losers - I don't know who I learned this from. When fighting, you first use artillery to wash the ground, and then use grenades to wash it.

After all, after a battle, there will be more news about artillery shells and grenades than bullets!"

Zhu Jinsong's face immediately darkened.

You said you're going to train them, then you're going to train them. Why are you always looking at me from the corner of your eye? And those of you who are being trained, what are you looking at me for? Did you learn all these problems from me? And you

!Zhu Laosan, if you nod again, I will beat you to death!

After giving Zhu Laosan a fierce look, Zhu Jinsong continued: "Okay, let's settle this matter first, spread the word first, let the barbarians start filming quickly, and inform Northern Industries and Southern Weapons

, let them increase production capacity.”

"Once a war of this level breaks out, the consumption of artillery shells, grenades and bullets will be absolutely astronomical. Don't expect buyers to come to the door by then, but our Ming Dynasty will have nothing to sell to others."

All the leaders present immediately nodded in agreement.

But Zeng Cheng thought that he was already shameless anyway, and there was no difference between not having one face and not having two faces. Anyway, as long as there was someone more shameless than Da Ming, then Da Ming would be the more shameless one.

Besides, who in this world dares to say that Ming Dynasty is shameless? England? France? Or who?

After thinking about it, Zeng Cheng simply pointed to the globe on the table and said: "Otherwise, we can take advantage of Qian Deafang old dog's opportunity to use troops against Tsarist Russia and directly send the North Sea Fleet to Alaska? It is said that Tsarist Russia only established a stronghold there.

, in fact, there are not many troops - the hometown of the Yin Shang Dynasty."

Zhu Jinsong couldn't help but feel a little moved.

With more than 1.7 million square kilometers, it seems that it would be a loss to have such a large territory back in our own hands. No matter how bad it is, it will disgust the furry bears and stupid eagles.

After nodding, Zhu Jinsong looked at Liu Erniu and said: "Are you sure about the Zuo Army Governor's Office? I have told you in advance that this battle will be fought across the sea, so you can't expect the Ming Dynasty to give you

Transportation logistics, and more, still have to rely on you."

Liu Er stood up with a loud sound and responded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Zuo Army Governor's Office promises to take back the old place of the Yin and Shang Dynasties!"

Zhu Jinsong hummed, motioned Liu Erniu to sit down, then looked at Zeng Cheng and the other big guys and said: "As the saying goes, mosquito meat is also meat. If you can stir them up to fight each other, you can make a lot of money, but there is another problem.

We can't just throw away this small sum of money."

Gu/span “Of course, if handled properly, this money is not necessarily small money. It can not only build up the image of our Ming Dynasty, but also bring new business opportunities to our Ming Dynasty businessmen.”

Hearing Zhu Jinsong say this, all the big guys present were a little confused - to be regarded as mosquito meat by Zhu Jinsong, the Ming Emperor, means that this piece of meat is definitely not small, and the market it can drive may even be huge.

As big as a whale.

Therefore, apart from guns and artillery, what else can be so profitable? Not to mention erecting the image of Ming Dynasty and finding new business opportunities for Ming Dynasty businessmen.

Just when everyone was confused, Zhu Jinsong turned his attention directly to Zeng Cheng: "Zeng Futai turned around to discuss with Pierre and Macartney, and said that I planned to invite all the European heads of state to come to us.

Ming Dynasty visited."

Hearing what Zhu Jinsong said, Zeng Cheng couldn't help but be startled, and Liu Huaiwen couldn't help but get angry - inviting a group of barbarian kings to visit? Not to mention making money, it would be nice not to lose money!

Zhu Jinsong continued: "In addition, remember to tell them that I feel that many countries in the world are fighting endlessly and the people of the world are struggling to make a living, so I thought of inviting many countries to send some of their manpower to come to my country to participate in the competition.

I will not hesitate to reward those who can win the championship with gold medals to show that I am "only willing to replace war with competition.""

Liu Huaiwen's face turned darker.

Well, you are already destined to lose money by inviting all the kings to visit, but you still want to invite so many barbarians to participate in the competition? If they really respond to your call and come to participate in the competition, you will not care about their food, clothing, housing and transportation.

?How much money do you make?

Also, what kind of gold medal can the champion get? Can't he get a bronze medal?

spendthrift!

While Liu Huaiwen kept complaining secretly, Zhu Jinsong continued: "As for the events of the competition, you can slowly discuss it. Anyway, we can do everything we can. Allow those barbarians to come and watch the game - remember to charge tickets.

."

"Also, if we hold the competitions separately, for example, some projects will be placed in Jinan, some projects will be placed in Luoyang, and some projects will be placed in Yunnan, Guizhou, Gansu, and Sichuan. We will not only directly stimulate local infrastructure projects through this competition, but also through this

A tournament, let those barbarians spend more money in our Ming Dynasty."

"Also, remember to ask Pierre to make a handicap."

"For example, in Cuju, if everyone else bets on our team from Ming Dynasty to win, then let our team from Ming Dynasty lose the game. If everyone else bets on the team from France to win, then let France lose the game."

"Of course, you still have to pay some attention to this kind of gameplay. You can't make it too obvious, otherwise no one will play it in the future."

After thinking for a while, Zhu Jinsong added: "This competition will be held in the name of world peace, and it will be held every four years thereafter."

"In addition, in this tournament, our country will get 70%, and France will get the remaining 30%. Otherwise, France will be much weaker than England, which is not a good thing for world peace."

Once every four years is a very reasonable schedule, because the site and related infrastructure take time, and the growth of leeks also takes time.

When many state capitals in the Ming Dynasty have hosted the event, the right to apply for the event will be open to the outside world. By then, it is estimated that broadcast rights and other things can be sold for money.

As for world peace...long live world peace!

Qing?

Not to mention that the Qing Dynasty is busy fighting wars now. Even if the Qing Dynasty is not busy, then he is just a rebel force in the Ming Dynasty. What qualifications does he have to participate in such a world-class competition?

North Korea?

Wasn't North Korea owned by the Qing Dynasty? Even if Zhu Jinsong sent a large army to punish the people and punish the people, after regaining it, it would still be the land of the four Liaodong counties, and there would be no need to consider whether to participate in the competition.

…

After convening the envoys who were still in Jinan Prefecture, Zeng Cheng said straight to the point: "Da Ming is responsible for the food and accommodation of all participants. The principles of the competition are justice, fairness, and openness. Everyone can buy tickets.

Watch the game.”

"This is what I, His Majesty the Ming Emperor, mean. Instead of fighting endlessly, it is better to compete on the field and replace war with the spirit of sports competition."

"Especially in ten years' time, the League of Nations will be established, and countries will not be allowed to initiate wars at will."

At this point, Zeng Cheng picked up the tea cup: "Those who are willing to give me, the Emperor Ming, the dignity of the Ming Dynasty, can stay and continue to discuss the events and rules. Those who are not willing to give the dignity of the Ming Emperor, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, can leave now."

No one left.

Even the Portuguese envoys who had just arrived in the Ming Dynasty did not leave - before that organization was established, everyone had to rely on the Ming Dynasty's muskets and artillery to seize territory. Who dared not give the Ming Emperor face at this time?

Is it possible not to rely on Ming Dynasty’s muskets and artillery?

Okay, that's great. Just don't cry when you get beaten up.

Seeing that many envoys had not left, Zeng Cheng put down the tea cup in his hand and said with a smile: "Since everyone agrees with this competition, let's arrange our manpower and discuss the events and rules of the competition.
Chapter completed!
